Magnets On The Cheap Review & Giveaway **Closed**

I have an awesome company to tell you about called Magnets on the Cheap and they are the ones who made the above magnet for me. Actually, they made (2) of them. They are the size of a dinner placement and they are really good heavy magnets that go on the sides of your car! I have never seen magnets that go on cars, so I was intrigued to see what they would do. I wish I was a bigger blogger that putting the magnets on my car would help, but I don't think I have ever seen a blogger with ads on their cars, have you? So, I think since they won't stick to the fridge or dishwasher, I am gonna use them some other way. I will have to think about it and see what happens.

I was also very impressed with the way their staff and how fast they got these to me. They even designed the Mary's Cup of Tea onto the magnets! I did not even know that they could even make a design for you personally. So, I really liked this new design and the colors. I thought it came out pretty awesome for them to not have much to work with. My logo that I use on my blog would not download correctly on their site and it came out fuzzy so that is why I told them they could make one up if that was easier. So, that is why this design looks different than my lavender/purple logo.

Gosh you should check out all the awesome sites that Magnets On The Cheap is associated with! Here is a list with links to those sites:

1. Banners On The Cheap

2. Signs On The Cheap

3. Easy Canvas Prints

I could have chosen between all of those and the Magnets On The Cheap but I don't have any children at home, so I figured the canvas and banners would not do me any good and I had no need of a sign, so that is how I chose Magnets instead. I have magnets all over my fridge! Unfortunately, these are made with some kind of material that does not stick to the fridge, but boy, they sure do to my car! Takes only one quick move and they are on there very secure.

Here are the sizes you can choose from if you want it for your car:

**9" x 12" For small and mid-sized vehicles

**12" x 18" For small and mid-sized vehicles

**12" x 24" For trucks, SUVs and full-size vehicles

And you get to choose the heaviness of the magnet:

**30 Mil Magnet - BEST DEAL!**45 Mil magnet - Heavy Duty MaterialYou can also choose from their vast designs that they have on their site if you don't know what to do about the design. Such as people who need to advertise their restaurant, real estate, contractors and retail. There are more than that, so go on over and see what pre-made magnets they have available. Have you ever gotten one of those business like cards that are really magnets? I have and they are very handy! I have several of them on my fridge right now. I did not go over the site and much as I should have or I would have known I could have gotten them smaller to fit there. But, I am still happy with my two that I got. I will use them somehow. What about putting it on my riding lawnmower? I will have the best decorated mower on our street!

Here is what you do if you want to customize your magnets:

**What kind of image should I use for a photograph?

If you're using a photograph, then you should use a good resolution JPG image. Try to find the highest quality image with a file size less than 12 Megabytes (12 MB).

**What kind of image should I use for a logo or clipart?

To use a logo, or some type image created by a graphics professional from solid lines and colors (specifically called 'vector art'), then EPS is the best choice. By using an EPS file in your design, you can retain the sharp lines in your original image, even if the file size you use is very small. If you do not have access to an EPS file, then GIF or PNG file formats will provide you with the next best print quality. Again, try to find the highest quality image with a file size less than 12 Megabytes (12 Mb).

The kind folks at Magnets On The Cheap is giving the winner their choice of product from any of the (4) sites I have mentioned in this post which are Magnets On The Cheap, Signs On The Cheap, Banners On The Cheap and Easy Canvas Prints. Good Luck Everyone! Open to the U.S. only!
